This is how union should be played. Its a scrap. The Europeans haven’t forgotten it. That is why they win the world cups. There is nothing wrong with telling your opponent how much you enjoyed their mothers company last night in a scrum, break down or roll over try. This is a battle of wits, strength and mental ability. To put this little ‘storm in a tea cup’ into perspective I have been involved in an all in brawl on that field that would have seen 500+ AK Grammar (with an ‘ar’) students hurting each other. When you add young testosterone in the mix this is bound to happen. Its just young men sharpening their claws. Perhaps the ALL BLACKS should watch and learn. The only difference is there was a camera on hand to film this.
Today if you want to see good rugby go down to your local school field and watch a game between to top schools. Hint. Watch it from behind the posts not like TV. You will really see the plays open up. Its a great game that has been bogged down in branding and safety.
At least when you turn on the Monday news its mostly the league guys that have beaten their girlfriends, glassed or punched some innocent by stander etc… Now that is a boring game!
I am going to coin this one “don’t let the proliferation of technology” seem like this is bigger than it is.
It was good to see the elders step in and sort this out though.
It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It’s been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It’s been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

Well after a telecommunications saga that is far to long, boring and completely predictable I am back on line. Its funny how companies with communications in their titles do everything but…
Hurry up Google and make the internet fast and free for all would ya!?
So its welcome back to my house. This for all I know has done the rounds already but its the first thing I have seen that made me smile.
It’s been a long time since the book of love,
I can’t count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
It’s been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can’t work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
It’s been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
I managed to pack all the clothes I will need in a space a church mouse would still think was a Penthouse.
Commence rant.
I am under no illusions that at present I will never be able to fit all the data I own in one convenient storage device. Photos, music etc…
So,
I have hacked my gen1 psp to take a few movies with me. Should be good on the plane. And a couple of party albums that will make me famous at, well parties if I can plug in the psp. 3.5 audio jack permitting. Battery? 3 weeks?Better take the charger incase. And the USB cable.
I have my digital SLR. With back up battery. And their life is great but better take the charger incase. Oh and the USB reader which is different to the psp so I can get images off it.
iPod. Was going to take it but hope I don’t have time to listen to my music. If I did, still yet another cable. Which I would have to plug into my laptop to charge. But that is useless because I would need my external drives. Each with firewire 800 and their own power supplies. And yet more cables to keep the digital hub that is my laptop alive. Flag the iPod (bugger).
Phone. Has blue tooth. YES! Thats worth a fist pump. Needs another charger. Boo!!
DRM is bad for the consumer but so is all this cable.
User pays. I would gladly add what… another $100 to all my products for standardization and backwards compatibility just to carry 1 charger that doubles as a data transfer cable for all my toys.
